1. “That includes, in particular, efforts to combat sexual violence in conflict. There is no question that ISIL and like-minded groups are a real danger to global stability and security. Such terrorists have talked openly about wanting to establish a caliphate from India to southern Spain. They stretch their delusional fantasies across generations and across borders. To confront them, we must rely on the forces that have shaped human history. We must defend the firm and unyielding principles of human liberty and dignity that have withstood the tests of fascism and communism, and now terrorism. That is the test facing us today. We cannot afford to fail.”

2. “Such rejection of religious freedom and the severing of long-standing bonds and shared history are not humanity. They represent the law of the jungle. No nation-State condones ISIL. However, as I stated in Paris earlier this week, it is not somebody else's problem. We must work together to each of our strengths and abilities. For Canada's part, we are supporting Iraqi forces in the front line against ISIL with the deployment of advisers and the delivery of equipment. We are also funding regional efforts to stem the flow of foreign fighters. We welcome the leadership of Shaikh Khalid Al-Khalifa of Bahrain to work to cut off the finances of ISIL. That has our full and active support. We are, of course, assisting with urgent humanitarian efforts. As Valerie Amos has reminded us, much more help will be required from us all.”

3. “With that unusually high capability comes great arrogance and a sense of invincibility. They do not need to hide their vile acts. In fact, they bask in them and exploit the Internet to try and give themselves a disproportionate impact. They think that the more brutal that they are, the more cowed we will be. They are wrong. They wanted attention, and now they have it. It is time to show them that they are more vulnerable than they realize. We must also reject their world View wherever we find it. Sadly, their extremist ideology and bloodthirsty methods are shared by a growing number of other groups and individuals around the world. I visited Iraq for myselfjust a few weeks ago. I talked to a Christian family who had five minutes' notice to flee their traditional home after neighbours told ISIL fighters about their religion.”

4. “I am grateful for the leadership of the United States and for the tremendous amount of hard work that you, Mr. President, have put into that challenge. I do not need to explain to participants the impact that the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is having in Iraq and Syria. I do not need to persuade them that ISIL is evil. The question that we must answer today is how do we, as an international community of civilized nations, face this dangerous and nihilistic force? I believe not only that is terrorism the greatest challenge of our generation but also that we need to face up to a new generation of terrorism. ISIL is more of a terrorist army than the traditional image of an isolated cell of extremists. It is the toxic mix of medieval ideology with modern weaponry.”
